FLAT IRON HEATER.
(No Model.)
I UNITED STaTas ATENT WILLIAM u NIcIIoLA s; OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
FLAT-IRON HEATER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 699,700, dated May 13, 1902.
Application filed January 20, 1902. Serial No. 90,423. (No model.) 7
To aZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I,WILLIAII F. NICHOLAS, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flat-Iron Heaters; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in flat-iron heaters.
The object of myinventiou is to provide a stove especially adapted to heating sad-irons for laundry purposes.
In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a plan view of my stove with the sad-irons removed. Fig. 2 is a central section of the stove in elevation, showing the sad-irons in place thereon.
In both views the same numerals indicate similar parts.
The base portion of the stove is composed of four legs 1, converging toward the center, at which point a gas-burner 2 is supported. The burner may be made integral with the legs, or it may be made separate and supported thereby.
3 is a tube communicating with the burner, through which gas is supplied. pipe may be attached to this tube for connecting the stove with the gas-supply pipes.
44 are a series of rollers or disks rotatably secured to the legs, there being one secured to each leg. Upon these disks a rotatable housing 5 is supported. The lower part of the housingis provided with an upwardly-extending annular groove 6, into which groove the roller-disks 4 4 project and in the bottom of which they track when the housing is rotated upon the base. The housingtshown in the drawings) is shaped like a hexagon-sided truncated cone. It may be made larger and provided with a greater number of inclined sides than contained ina hexagon for the accommodation of a greater number of sadirons. I have found, however, that six or eight sides or spaces on the housing, for the accommodation of that number of sad-irons, is sufficient for all practical purposes. Each of the inclined surfaces is provided with an opening 7, through which the smoothing-surface of the sad-iron is directly exposed to the heat radiating from the burner. A projection A hose or or shelf 8 is provided at the bottom, on the outside of each of the openings 7, for supporting the sad-irons in position.
Immediately over the top of the burner 2 I provide an inwardly and downwardly depending spreader 9, supported from the lid 10. The object of the spreader is to deflect the flame from the burner 2 directly to the exposed surfaces of the sad-irons through the apertures 7. Around the outside and larger diameter of the spreader I provide a series of holes 11 through the lid 10, through which the products of combustion escape. The lid 10 is separable and may be removed from the housingwhen desired, and a vessel containing starch or other material may be placed on top of the housing for the purpose of cooking or heating the contents at the same time that the irons are being heated by the burner 2. The surfaces upon which the irons are supported may be numbered or lettered, so that the irons may be placed upon the housing and removed therefrom in rotation or in sequence.
The housing, with the irons contained thereon, may be easily rotated upon the base. By this means the irons become readily accessible to the operator in removing and replacing them. As each sad-iron is placed upon the housing the housing will make a complete revolution before the iron is again removed for use, and therefore the irons will remain in place thereon forasuflicientperiodof time to become thoroughly heated. In this manner the operator has ever ready a hotiron at her service. After the irons have once been sufficiently heated for use no more gas need be used for maintaining six irons in operative condition and sufliciently hot for this purpose than is usually required for heating a single iron.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. In a gas-stove the combination, with a burner, a housing provided with a plurality of inclined sides, an annular track on the base of said housing, a base and a series of rollers supported thereon adapted to engage said track, whereby said housing may berotated.
2. In a gas-stove the combination, with a burner, a housing provided with a plurality of inclined sides, an annular track on the base of said housing, a. base, a series of rollmy own I affix my signature in presence of ers supported thereon, adapted to engage two Witnesses.
said track, a. lid adapted to cover the top of said housing, and a flame-spreader depend- WILLIAM NICHOLAS 5 ing from said lid and immediately over said Witnesses:
burner. A FOREE BAIN,
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as MARY F. ALLEN.
